I finished my new 6.5x284 hunting rifle about a week and a half ago and have been testing with the amp jacketed amaxs and seem to have hit a wall with it. It is very accurate but it takes 57.8grns of H1000 or 59.3grns of Retumbo to reach 3000fps, the H1000 did 3012fps and the Retumbo did 3009. The barrel is 26.5" finished 4 groove. I have also tried my normal bench loads of H4350 and 4831sc and with the amaxs I can not get the speed I should be without getting into pressure with any powder I have tried, has anyone else had similar results with the amaxs verses lapua, berger, or sierra?
